Data You Need to Make Decisions
PipeLine Machinery International (PLM) is committed to bringing you innovative solutions that will, among other things, get your machines serviced and repaired faster. It is our pleasure to start the new year by presenting to you a solution that will do just that, PLM Connect

PLM Connect uses technology and software tools available for both Cat® and non-Cat assets that will read all the telematics of your equipment and transform this data into essential information you need to make decisions. The newly updated software platform will deliver these detailed insights in such a way as to optimize machine performance, save you time and money, and lay the foundation for fleet sustainability. How so?
Deliver more targeted information. Utilizing the Cat Product Link™ wireless technology and the VisionLink® web interface, the health of your machine can be gathered and organized. In conjunction with the PLM Connect Condition Monitoring service, this data can now be delivered to you using customizable notifications in an email alert and can be delivered to the person whose area of responsibility it belongs. Your fleet can be grouped into a territory, and then drilled down to the manager or mechanic responsible for those specific machines. No more sorting through email alerts by equipment on each project spread. Simply tell us what contact gets the alerts for that group of machines and the system does the rest.

Reduce downtime and save money on costly repairs. The email alert information is now prioritized. Machine fault codes that can down a machine will precede lesser codes. You will receive machine diagnostic information in near real-time, catching problems quickly. 

Repair information readily available and easy to find. Predictive analysis integration caches trends for you and provides an analysis of what is to come if the machine is not serviced. In addition, updates made to the service and repair information on a specific machine is stored and passed along every time that fault code is generated thereafter.
